Suspect jamel mcgriff accused of killing elderly couple then setting their home ablaze in borough of queens, new york city taken into custody
A memorial with candles and flowers stands outside the home where police work the crime scene following the arrest of Jamel McGriff, who is suspected of killing an elderly couple and then setting their house on fire in a murder and arson attack. In Queens, New York, USA, on September 11, 2025, Jamel McGriff spends several hours inside the home of Frank and Maureen Olton in the borough of Queens before burning it to the ground, say investigators. The NYPD states that it is a ''horrific double homicide, robbery, and arson.'' The 42-year-old suspect has a lengthy criminal history and is released on probation in 2023, say officials. Heavy damage to the home is seen as police crime scene tape cordons off the area. (Photo by Kyle Mazza/Thenews2/NurPhoto)
